Overview Isotk 20mg Capsule

Retinoid-based Isotk 20mg capsules treat severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Consistent daily intake, ideally with food, minimizes missed doses. Symptom improvement may take time; continued use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are potential, generally transient side effects; persistent or bothersome effects necessitate medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun avoidance and postponement of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. This medication poses a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy necessitates immediate consultation with your doctor.
